Moved by the Rev. T. SPENCER, and seconded by the Rev. W. BEVAN,— ' 1. That this Meeting, disclaiming all factious opposition to her Majesty's Government, cannot refrain from expressing its con viction that the defeat of Sir George Strickland's recent Motion in the House of Commons for the Emancipation of the Priedial Negro Apprentices on the Ist of August next, was principally occasioned by the opposition- of her Majesty's Ministers to that measure of sound policy and justice, and that their conduct in thus prolonging a system the alleged and irremediable evils of which are evinced by their own Bill for the amendment of the Apprenticeship Act of 1833, es well as by other official documents, has occasioned the deepest disappointment and regret to a large proportion of their friends and supporters, and cannot be too ex plicitly or too loudly condemned. Moved by G. THOMPSON, and seconded by Rev. P. CATER,- 2. That the Petitions to Parliament in support of the object of Sir George Strickland's Motion were, in the opinion of this Meet ing, an unequivocal expression of the sentiments of the majority of nearly every constituency throughout the kingdom, and that many of the Members of the House of Commons who voted against that Motion acted in open violation of their professions and principles, as well as in defiance of the earnest wishes of a large and influ- ' ential proportion of their constituents. Moved by Admiral GORDON, and seconded by ROBERT PERFECT-- 3. That with these views of the position of this momentous struggle, this Meeting cordially approves the renewed agitation of the question both in and out of Parliament, and pledges itself to redoubled and untiring exertions to obtain by constitutional means the earliest possible termination of the apprenticeship, and of every form and vestige of slavery, throughout her Majesty's deminions, and adopts the following as its Petition to the Legislature : The following is a copy of the Petition agreed to at the Meet ing : To the Right Honourable the Lords Spiritual and Temporal in Parliament assembled. The Humble Petition of the Inhabitants of the City of Bath. SHEKETH, That your Petitioners have observed with the deepest regret and disappointment the denial, by the Honourable the House of Com mons, of the prayer of the Petitioners from all parts of the kingdom, for the full and unconditional emancipation of the Prasdial Negro Apprentices in her Majesty's Colonies on the Ist of August next. That your Petitioners regard all that has transpired in connexion with the discussion of this painfully exciting question, both in Par liament and elsewhere, as an ample confirmation of the justice and sound policy of the boon for which they asked, and as an impera tive inducement not to desist from the employment ef all constitu tional means to obtain it at the earliest possible period. That should inconvenience to her Majesty's Government, •r temporary injury to the Colonies, arise from the renewed agitation of the question, your Petitioners will regard those evils as justly chargeable, not to themselves in asking, but to those who have in curred the responsibility of withholding a measure demanded alike by the most sacred principles of justice, humanity, and religion, and by the most obvious interests of the Colonies, and of all classes of her Majesty's subjects. Your Petitioners, therefore, most earnestly implore your Right Honourable House to adopt such measures without delay as shall in sure immediate and unconditional freedom to all the Negro Appren tices in her Majesty's dominions. • And your Petitioners will every pray, &c. &c. Moved by the Rev. T. MARTIN ' and seconded by BASIL MAR RIOTT, Esq.— 4. That the Petitions be signed by the Chairman on behalf of this Meeting, and that to the House of Lords be entrusted for presentation to Lord Brougham, and that to the House of Com mons to Joseph Pease, Esq., and that Gore Langton, Esq., and the Members for this City, be requested to support its prayer in their places in Parliament.

BANKERS—The London Joint Stock Bank. This Company presents to small or large Capitalists, aspects of an extraordinary character : the immense consumption of the two articles and the certainty of their disposal at liberal profits render this undertaking unusually safe and lucrative, as upon the most mo derate calculation, it offers a clear dividend of t wen t y per cent. per annum, on the paid up capital, while such capital is augmenting, and the Shares consequently becoming increasingly valuable. To Wine Merchants, Victuallers, Oilmen, and Picklers, this Company presents a most eligible investment, as by becoming Shareholders, they unite the advantages of manufacturer and dealer, and secure to themselves a certain and extensive trade. The Directors hope that the Trade and the Public generally, will immediately avail themselves •f Shares in this lucrative undertaking, especially as they will provide that no Shareholder shall incur liability beyond the amount of his subscribed capital. No further call will be made without a month's previous notice, and then not exceed one pound per share.

The Fisheries of Ireland, like other vast natural ' , Bourses of that fruitful country, have hitherto remained wholly neglected. It can scarcely be credited, were it not proved beforc; a Com mittee of the House of Commons, that the southern and western coasts are the best fishing grounds in Europe, and abound with cod (equal to that of the Dogger Bank), tarbot, haddock, ling, hake, salmon, brill, herrings, pilchards, lobsters, &c., and sun fish, so valuable for its oil. The Company intend not only to purchase fish from the fishermen but also to embrace fishing of every description, in lakes, rivers, bays, and shores, as well as the deep sea fishery, and are about to in troduce an improved system of fishing, for which patents are pro posed to be obtained, whereby the application of steam power on new principle will be most advantageously used, as well as to bring the fish with expedition to the market. Vessels will be fitted up with tanks so constructed as to preserve the fish alive, a desideratum hitherto unknown, the excellent flavour of salmon in particular being lost by its transmission packed in ice. The Company will supply the L on d on , D u bli n , Li ver p oo l, Bristol, and other markets with live fish in the course of the ensuing June. It is shown by the Prospectuses that a profitable return of 1401. per cent. may be realized.

Henry Luard, Esq. J. L. Hood, Esq. Thomas Jones, Esq. Thomas Hutton, Esq. H. Beresford.Fitzgibbon, Esq. IH. C. Moreton Dy er , E sq . The above Company has been formed for the purpose of more effectually working and smelting the ores from the highly valuable and productive silver-lead mines near Lampeter, in the county of Cardigan, on the property of Lord Carrington, which are univer sally known and esteemed throughout Wales for their extraordinary richness. These mines, though formerly inefficiently worked, have never theless produced large profits ; they recently have undergone ex_ tensive improvements by the present lessee, who has expended a considerable sum in sinking a new shaft, erecting a new and power ful water-wheel, together with every necessary building calculated for a work of importance. There is a never-failing stream that will be applied to work the wheel, drain the mines, crush and stamp the ore, and draw it to the surface, so that none of the capital of the Company will be absorbed in steam engines and machinery, at immense cost, usually the case in works of this description. Many other advantages might be fairly set forth, such as contiguity to an excellent shipping port, cheapness of provision, and consequently labour, details more fitting for verbal explanation than public ad vertisement. It is not necessary to enlarge upon the acknowledged reputation of these mines, and their richness in silver (vide Topographical Histories of Wales , ' ); suffice it to say, that samples previously to the present tenancy were tested in 1836 by Mr. Johnson, the cele brated assayist, and were found to contain 84 ounces of pure silver to the ton of ore ; subsequently, on the 24th of February, 1838, specimens were again sent to him, which yielded 87 ounces to the ton. The ores from these mines, owing to the large proportion of silver they contain, have always a ready sale (with scarcely any fluctuation in price), at from 271. to 3W. per ton ; whilst the pro duce of other mines containing none of that precious metal sells for only 11/. to 121. a ton, and even at that price they are carried on at a profit. The extraordinary advantages that this investment presents must be obvious, the more especially as the Llativair Mines have been already worked, the quality of the ores proved and reduced to a certainty, thereby divesting the present undertak ing from any apprehension of the risk usually attendant on mining speculations. A careful survey and elaborate report have been made by Mr. W. W. Bailey, the well-known mining engineer, by which it will be seen that 8,000/. per annum is the calculation of the net profits from the old veins alone, while there is every prospect of propor tionate returns from the veins lately opened in different parts of the estate. 3I ARBLE WORKS BY PATENT MA CHINERY.

Gpital 250,000/. in 10,000 Shares of 251. each—Deposit 51. The object of this Company is to manufacture BRANDY equal to Cognac, by a newly invented and ingenious apparatus, the secret of the working and process of which has been purchased by, and is exclusively secured to the Directors of this Company. The Brandy produced by the above means is undistinguishable from Cognac brandy, and ❑ot only does it possess its flavour but also the same beneficial qualities, for which Foreign Brandy is so invariably recommended by the Faculty. The Directors are so confident of the success of this great un dertaking, and the benefit that will arise to the public by the sale of this very superior Brandy, that they fully anticipate being able to compete with their Continental neighbours--so as to render the importation of Foreign Brandy unnecessary. The Directors beg to announce to the Public, that from the confidence placed in them by the Shareholders in the promptitude with which the Deposits have been paid, they are enabled to com mence business, and to receive orders to any extent. This Brandy will be supplied at 16s. per Gallon, in quanti ties of not less Two Gallons. A liberal discount allowed to the Trade. HENRY STOKES, Manager. 18, King-street, Snorr-bill. THE BRITISH GALVANIZATION OF INIETAL COMPANY. SECURED BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT. Capital, 200,000/., in 10,000 Shares of 20/. Deposit, 21. per Share. The objeet of this Company is the manufacture and sale of a metallic preparation, hitherto unknown in this country, to pre serve iron and copper from rust and oxidation, the machinery and process of which are secured by patent. In England where these metals arc so extensively used, and their preservation from rust is of such manifest importance, the esta blishment of this Company cannot fail to be of the greatest in terest ; and an enumeration of a few of the various objects capable of being preserved by this invention will at once shew the extensive field opened for its operation. Iron rails, pins, screws, and other articles used in railways. The bright parts of the machinery connected with locomotive engines which are necessarily exposed to 'the weather. The filed and bright parts, as well as the steam-boilers, of marine engines. Water tanks for vessels of war and other ships. Chain cables, ship's bolts, knees, and all other iron works used in ship-building ; likewise copper-sh eathing ; all sorts of iron fixed or used in damp or wet situations, as mince, docks, wharfs, &c. Sre. Nails, screws, and all iron-work used in oat-buildings. All copper and bra'ss vessels used for culinary purposes. Desirous of making this patent as perfect as possible, its pro moters have delayed bringing it forward until the present moment, in order to test its value by the experiments and calculations of scientific and practical men ; and it is only after the fullest and most satisfactory investigation that it is now offered to the public, as an undertaking which cannot fail to yield large profits. A prospectus, with ample details, will be immediately issued. Applications for shares may be addressed, until the 2d of May, to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices, 83, Cornhill, where -specimens of the invention may be seen. , DRESS COATS, cut in the first style of Fashion, 30s. ; superfine, 40s. to 50s. ; frock coats, silk facings, 38s. and 475. ; ditto, silk Velvet collar and silk facings, 50s. ; trou sers, Bs. 6d. to 125. 6d. ; buckskin, cloth, and kerseymere, 15s. to Z.. ; fancy waistcoats, Gs. 6d. to 10s. 6d. ; rich silk ditto, cloth, and kersymere, 7s. to 12s. 6d. ; Petersham great coats, 255. and 30s. ; pilot. *oats, 165., 215., and 30s. ; cloth cloaks, 30s. to 50s. ; milled sloth great &oats, 40s. ; shooting. jackets, 18s ; dressing gowns, 10s. 6d. ; boys' and youths' clothing, tunic dresses, 30s. to 405. ; a suit. of clothes for 21. 17s. ; superfine black 3/. ss.

MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM FOR FILLING DECAYED TEETH, LOOSE TEETH FASTENED, AND LOSS OF TEETH SUPPLIED. Monsieur MALLAN, and Son, Surgeon Dentists 32, GREAT RUSSELL-STREET, BLOOMSBURY, and 16, PRINCES-STREET, HANOVER-SQUARE, continue to restore DECAYED TEETH kith their MINERAL SUCCEDANEUM, (of which they are the Sole INVENTORS and POSSESSORS), without pain, heat, or pressure, and FASTEN LOOSE TEETH, whether arising from age, neglect, disease of the Gums, the use, of Calomel, or any other cause. They hav e a l so di scoNe:ed a NEW COMPOSI TION for ARTIFICIAL TEETH. A peculiar advantage attending Teeth made from this SUBSTANCE is, that they are totally imper vious to acids. ARTIFICIAL '1 EETH ' have hitherto been found ob jectionable by INVALIDS taking MEDICINES which have a tendency to DISCOLOUR them, and by persons of bilious habits. Messrs. M. have been successful in obviating these objections by their NEW DISCO VERY, and they can tix the above without extracting the STUMPS, er c using any incumbrance,.and even on GUMS of the most tender nature, protecting the adjoining Teeth, however loose.

CA UTION.—CUR TIS and DOLLAND'S OBSERVATIONS AGAINST the USE of AMBER SPECTACLES, (Second Edition) on the Preservation of Sight, pages 55 and 56.—" Amber is a soft substance, and it is impossible to form it into a perfect lens, and a lens . improperly constructed would prove most injurious to vision. Amber from the soft state of the material in moderate heat becomes sticky, and by cleaning the lens in a short time the polish comes off; they also become scratched and completely blind. Glue, as to hardness of substance and colour, is considered much preferable ; they are much inferior either to glass or pebbles." John Harrison Curtis, Esq., M.R.1., Oculist Surgeon to the Royal Dispen sary , an d Lecturer on the Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology of the Eye and Ear, states— " It will probably be expected that I should say what I think of Amber Spectacles ; they have been recommended by several Oculists, and my patronage has been solicited for them ; but surely those gentlemen who have sanctioned them cannot have remem bered that amber is comparatively a soft substance, consequently very liable to become scratched, and that the polish is easily worn off; they are also much more expensive than even pebbles, and, as it appears to me, possess no advantage corresponding with their costs. For those reasons I entirely differ from those who have thought them preferable to Pebbles or Glass. Mr. Dolland, optician to his Majesty, and Fellow of the Royal Society, informs me that he considers amber a very improper material for Specta cles, on account of its colour, its net being homogeneous, its lia bility to scratches, and its being also impossible to form it into a per • feet lens." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) There are moderate arrivals this week of English Grain and Flour, but a good quantity of Oats again from Ireland. The Wheat trade re mains firm, at Monday's prices.

Whilst these Specta cles excel all others, as regards their very superior refractive pro perty , and their comparative lightness, they possess the further ad vantage of modifying bright and strong light, which, at the same time, is transmitted through the various humours of the eye, so as render vision most perfectly distinct, conveying also a sense of cool ness and pleasure to the crgan, with the additional equally impor- ' tent recommendation of Ewing FREE from the pernicious attributes of common glasses ; in short, the qualities of Mr. Solomon's Spec tacles admirably adapt them to afford ease and comfort, by protect ing and strength en i ng th e eyes , an d to exten d to vision the most decided and instantaneous relief that art can accomplish.

The Want of a work which should include all the " legends, traditions, and history" of that most romantic and remarkable por tion of the Rhine lying between Cologne and Mainz has been long felt by the European public. It is quite true that much has been written on these subjects, in various languages ; and that a great deal has been done towards elucidating them in several forms. In so far the subject is not a new one. But still it is not less true, that the wild and wondrous legends which appertain to each par ticular castle on that immortal river—the extraordinary traditions which attach themselves to almost every spot on its shores—the spirit-stirring histories connected with its cities and towns acd hamlets, through the long period when it was not alone th sole highway of central Europe, but the centre of European eiviliiation itself, have never been gathered together as yet, nor given an any thing like an entire form to the_ world. Th e present atteimpt made to supply, as fa r as possible, that desideratum in general 1 itc-rature. To those who have traversed the shores of that stream, and te those who intend to travel thither, it is believed than this book that there can be no more acceptable offering. It is fondly hoped that it will again awaken in the minds of the one the dormant the glorious scenes over which they h ave h ere t o f ore wandered, of and fix them more firmly in their memory by conne c ti ng t b h e e a m uti s e viththe facts of history, or the poetry of romance ; while to the others it is trusted that it will serve as a stimulant to quicken their apprehension of coming pleasure, by exciting their reason, their imagination, and their fancy. Thus recollection of the past, and anticipation of the future, will, it is presumed, be blended by it into one harmonious whole. The pains bestowed on this production; and the time employed in its completion, en ti t l e t h e Aut h or to hope for public favour. Nwhing has been left undone to secure it in a legitimate manner. The whole will be complete in a series of twenty-four Monthly Parts, forming contain two sh ee t s o f L with b W d enera two handsome oc t avo vo l ume s. Each Part will Letter-press, eauti u oo - rings from Drawings by Mr. Butler, illustrative of the Legends or the Localities. Each successive Part will also contain a double plate, forming a section of a most superior picturesque Panorama of the shores of th e R hine between the two Cities which form the termini.

Lord Whatncliffe in the chair, at which Mr. Vignoles, the eminent engineer of the Company, was instructed to proceed immediately to stake out the line of Railway, and prepare for putting the works into ac!ive opera tion. It is expected that the Mare' o Act' end of the line, running by Ashton, Hyde, and Mottrarn, as far as Gio.‘sop, will be completed at an early period, by which a large and profitable pasS'enger traffic will b..: brought ut - ol the Railway, whilst the heavier works near the summit are in progress. Front the arrangements in contemplation, there is no doubt that the whole of the line will be completed within the time fixed by Act of Parliament. We should riot omit to notice, that at the same meeting, a Deputation from Barnsley waited upon the Board, to solicit their co-operation in the formation of an intended line, branching front the Sheffield and .Man ehester Railway, near to Penistone, and proceeding through the Silks'one and Barnley coal-fields to the port of C on i c . By this line, in conjunction with the Sheffield and Manches ter, a saving in distance accounting to nearly thirty milt s, will be effected between the manufacturing districts of Lancashire, and the outlet of their immense con inental traffic ; in addition to which an extensive and valuable coalfield will be opened at once to the London market, and the Humber thus become a formidable rival to the Tyne and Near.—Manckster Courier. `c. u seum.—Egtablished 60 Years.
